Hello,
I have noticed over the past couple of weeks of sunny weather that the digital display is unreadable when the sun is on it.
Is there anything that can be done to improve it's readability ?

Thanks
Paul

drive it at night............

seriously though, you can adjust contrast etc by going into the set up menu of the unit. Although it's still pretty difficult to see in bright sunlight.

Yep, if the sun is coming in over your shoulder you can't read the digital display. Luckily they provide 2 big analogue gauges for speed/revs.

It can be a nightmare, just had a blast in the Tam (didn't stray too far!), and I heard beeps coming from the dash, but I couldn't read what the fault/code was - couldn't pull over as we were on a carriagway with no hard shoulder, bloody things! - Went away though, after pressing the 2 buttons - but it can be a pain not being able to see the faults/temps/pressures etc!

It's not just TVRs - I've always found cars with digital displays are difficult if not impossible to read when the sun is at just the right angle.
